Gray living room - what accessories to choose? gray living room ideas
Decorating a gray living room doesn't have to be boring. It is worth playing with shades and textures to spice it up a bit. These additions will look good both separately and in combination.
Gray is a versatile shade that pairs easily with a variety of colors and aesthetics. It is not surprising that it is so willingly chosen when arranging interiors. However, there are people who find it rather boring and conservative. However, this doesn't have to be the case - just match it with the right accessories! Then your living room can become fashionable and cozy at the same time. After all, gray - next to sunny yellow, which, by the way, blends perfectly with it - is recognized by the famous Pantone Institute as the color of 2021!
Gray has many names. From warm, brown or khaki, to cool, dove blue or forest green, you will find a really wide range of colors on the market to fit into its spectrum. And although it is considered a completely safe shade, when decorating with its use, you can get carried away with fantasy! Then it will take on a character and everything will become more comfortable.
Remember, however, that not every shade looks good when paired with grey. Of course, much depends on personal preferences - however, there are connections that are generally considered unsuccessful. An example is the combination of gray and red - once popular, but today considered too aggressive.
How to revive a gray living room?
Gray interiors can seem "lifeless" - and this, in turn, results in the comfort of their use. In order to revive them a little, it is enough to choose the appropriate color accents. What colors will work in this role?
Bile
For a gray living room, various shades of yellow are ideal. Mustard looks especially good in combination with gray, especially with bluish tints. But in fact, any yellow will do - whether it be lemon, canary or golden. It is worth combining accessories of different shades of yellow to get a distinct effect.
What yellow accents are suitable? The easiest and at the same time effective way is to bring yellowness on pillowcases, carpets or wall decorations. It is worth playing with textures and shades, creating a multidimensional effect. Using one shade of yellow can make it look too flat.
Here are a few patterns of yellow pillows that will look great both individually and together:
- Decorative pillow rabbit MD, yellow, 40 × 40 cm;
- Pillowcase Gabi for Etna cushion, mustard, 60 × 60 cm;
- Decorative cushion ATMOSPHERA Otto, yellow, 38 × 38 cm;
- TEKSTYLIALAND Cushion Geometry Zigzag, 40 × 40 cm;
- Decorative pillow BELIANI Kavalam, yellow, 45 × 45 cm;
- Cushion MIA HOME PLISA, yellow, 40 × 40 cm.
Against the background of gray walls and a gray sofa (preferably two different shades with different color temperatures), such details will look great. They will also soften concrete parts.
An interesting, very fashionable application of this shade is also the choice of a colored sofa. Those in a mustard shade are a real hit of the season and will wonderfully enliven a gray living room. Here are some examples in different styles, also with different shades.
- Modular sofa Vida XL 3-seater, yellow, fabric;
- Yellow three-seater sofa - Lavinia 3X 73x168x70;
- VidaXL 3-seater sofa yellow.
Muted shades of green
Bottle green and forest green also look great with dark grays. Small accessories of this shade can radically change the character of the interior. It's also worth considering demarcating the colors of the walls by painting one in this color - quite similar to gray, but still enlivening the interior.
What additions to the gray living room to choose?
I wonder how warm up a gray living room? The right choice of materials for furniture and accessories will undoubtedly help. All natural details of light shades are welcome - whether it be wood, vine, rattan or bamboo. In such an environment, gray will take on a new dimension.
Furniture in light and warm shades of wood will give the living room a more pleasant character. Are you looking for inspiration? Here are some suggestions:
- Round chair with a pillow on golden legs: Color - Yellow;
- Prescription Boho PAW Natural;
- Coffee table in Sungkai wood and Sierra rattan (⌀80 cm).
What carpet for a gray living room to choose? You can choose a yellow accent or different shades of gray. An interesting accent can be a shabby gray carpet, for example, from the offer of the Mefe brand, or with a paving effect.
